The praise for Sir Tom Stoppard's masterpiece Arcadia could not be more effusive. A reviewer from The Daily Telegraph gushed, "I have never left a play more convinced that I had just witnessed a masterpiece." Whereas The Independent wondered if it might be "the greatest play of its time." The reason for such enthusiasm might be found in Stoppard's uncanny blend of brainy discussion and down-to-earth emotion. In this play alive with ideas -- about Byron, entropy, history and heat -- the human characters are never lost or diminished, but somehow made more real by their participation in a conversation that seems to span centuries. Set in a sprawling English country house, Arcadia moves between the 19th century and the present through a series of love stories, while characters from both eras discover connections, unearth mysteries and unravel hidden truths. Artistic Director Carey Perloff helms the American Conservatory Theater's dazzling new production of this modern-day masterwork. Learn More

Written on Sep 17 2012The show was really bad, because it started out good, and then by the half hour into it. It falls apart, and the actresses way over act, and they add all these little hack comic bits. I do not recommend this what so ever. Don't waste your money.

Written on Sep 17 2012Pros: Smart dialogue delivered well. Remarkable character juggling by 3 actresses. Choreography between actresses near-perfected.
Cons: Dialogue and performance rushed; could be slowed to more dramatic effect. Quick start & finish, abrupt ending. Back row seats not elevated so difficulty seeing parts of stage and performance.

Written on Sep 10 2012I liked it, my boyfriend LOVED it. If you like Poe, do yourself a favor and see it. There's some great effects near the end of the play, I won't spoil anything. :)

About the Ticket Supplier: The Hypocrites
Their mission, which is ever-evolving to adapt to the growth of their organization, is to make a Theater of Honesty. They define a Theater of Honesty chiefly through two elements of their work: performance and presentation. In performance, their actors shall employ a genuine emotional vulnerability, rather than manufacturing a disconnected, intellectual version of emotion. In presentation, they shall acknowledge their presence in a theater and embrace high theatricality. Through this balance of an unyielding emotional honesty and accepting a concept of "play," they seek to strengthen the connection between artist and audience, enriching their audience's imaginative experience. Ultimately, they aim, perhaps somewhat naively, to spread understanding within society, thereby minimizing cruelty
